Qualcomm's leading edge boosts 5G and industry chain partners to achieve win-win cooperation

As a leader and promoter of the 3G/4G era, Qualcomm is also in a leading position in the 5G era. In the upcoming 5G era, the different devices people use have become smarter and more interactive, and the way we live has changed. In the past 30 years, Qualcomm has successfully connected you and people, and people are connected with information and things; in the next 30 years, Qualcomm will continue to connect everything with mobile technology.

In this era of mobile networks, mobile phones are undoubtedly the master of various functions. Based on this judgment, Qualcomm continues to carry out innovative research and continues to advance on the road of 5G research and development. To date, Qualcomm has owned approximately 130,000 patents, including pending patents and patents granted, covering cellular technology, as well as connectivity, imaging, RF, power, software, security and multimedia. It is also these patented technologies that lay a solid foundation for the development of communication and mobile Internet technologies, and build an information high-speed railway interconnected by all things, helping the world realize a new stage of transition from people to people, people to things, and everything. In the opening stage of the 5G era, Qualcomm adhered to the concept of rooted in China, and guided the cooperation and win-win situation, and took the lead in laying out China's 5G.

Qualcomm has entered the Chinese market for more than 20 years and has cooperated with hundreds of partners in industries and fields such as mobile communications, semiconductors, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence to provide full support to Chinese operators, manufacturers and developer partners. To promote China's innovative economic transformation and industrial development.

The joint innovation model of Qualcomm and SMIC is hailed as a model. The successful manufacture of the 28nm Opteron processor jointly developed by the two parties is of great significance to the new stage of China's semiconductor manufacturing industry. Huaxintong Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Qualcomm and the Guizhou Provincial Government, is committed to the design and development of ARM-based data center server chips, and has also achieved positive results.

In addition to deepening cooperation with local business partners, Qualcomm also supports the growth of China's artificial intelligence and IoT startups with venture capital funds to jointly create the next generation of IoT + artificial intelligence innovation and entrepreneurship. In September 2017, Qualcomm announced the establishment of “Nanjing Software Valley·United States Qualcomm Joint Innovation Center” to accelerate the innovation and development of enterprises in Nanjing and Jiangsu Province in the field of intelligent terminals and Internet of Things. China (Nanjing) Software Valley is also China's largest communications software industry R&D base, with more than 2,000 software companies. The Qualcomm Joint Innovation Center officially settled in Software Valley, which also marks the addition of leading companies to the IC design industry. In October 2017, Qualcomm announced the establishment of “Intelligent Networked Automotive Collaborative Innovation Lab” and “Chongqing Economic Development Zone·United States Qualcomm Intelligent Internet of Things Joint Innovation Center” to establish the Qualcomm Intelligent Networked Automotive in cooperation with Zhongke Chuangda. Collaborative Innovation Lab.

In addition, in Xiong'an New District, Qualcomm also cooperated with China Telecom to build a 5G innovation demonstration network to take advantage of the ultra-high bandwidth, large connectivity and ultra-low latency of 5G networks, focusing on the promotion of 5G driverless demonstration and 5G network telemedicine. 5G city Internet of Things and other applications not only promote the close integration of network technology and industrial applications, but also enable 5G innovation demonstration network not only to serve the construction of smart city in Xiong'an New District, but also to lead the development trend of the whole country or even the whole world.

In the process of moving towards 5G, the terminal will be combined with cutting-edge technologies in robotics, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, nanotechnology and more, bringing about tremendous changes. At present, Qualcomm's Internet of Things technology now covers transportation, smart watches, industrial / building, LED lighting, hydropower energy metering, home automation, white goods and other fields. Hundreds of brands have shipped more than 1.5 billion IoT products using Qualcomm solutions, and Qualcomm ships more than one million IoT chips per day.

Recently, Qualcomm, Chongqing Yubei District People's Government and Zhongke Chuangda have jointly signed a memorandum of cooperation to jointly establish the Qualcomm Intelligent Networked Automotive Collaborative Innovation Lab to promote the upgrading and development of the intelligent networked automobile industry and help China's intelligence. The accelerated development and innovation of the networked automotive field has established an open and innovative development platform for the intelligent networked automotive ecosystem.

In November, following the 5G new air interface test, Qualcomm once again cooperated with ZTE and China Mobile to successfully realize the world's first end-to-end 5G new air interface (5G NR) system interworking based on 3GPP R15 standard. As a phased and important achievement of the three parties' continuous cooperation, the system has also been demonstrated at the China Mobile Global Partner Conference held in November, which is also an important step to accelerate the early arrival of the fifth generation mobile communication. Substantial progress.

For the upcoming 5G, Qualcomm said it will continue to deepen the Chinese market and cooperate with industry chain partners in the 5G field to continue to serve China.
